BassTool Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) Spotted this from the Build Diaries thread, great stuff @SimonK I bought a brand new TE 4x10 combo back in the day, around 1993/4 for around £750 if my memory is right. I immediately got it flight cased and gigged it extensively - much to the disappointment of our roadies at the time! They hated the thing 🤭 Absolute beast though, during a soundcheck our engineer would be permanently waving his hand downwards for me to knock it quieter 🤣 During one sound check, a year or so in, I was standing waiting to check the levels - when clubs were full of cigarette smoke - an old bloke with a fag in his mouth at the front enquired 'yer smoking son?' No thanks I replied. No he said, yer big box behind you, you're smoking. Turned around and the amp had smoke pouring out of the top... 🫣 Got it repaired, and used it for around 6/7 years. Eventually went into storage and I sold it to a local studio/rehearsal room for £100. Great to see folks still loving the brand as I once did 👍🏼 Edited March 31 by BassTool 5 Quote

I'd hold out for half that price or less for these - certainly I got an identical 2x10 a few weeks back for £40, and a 1x15 a year or so ago for about the same. Mind you I will vouch for the sound of the combination! 2 Quote

Yes this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Barrina-Blacklight-Aluminium-Fluorescent-Halloween/dp/B0CPHSLQTQ/ and poked the lead out through the old speakon input hole. It actually looks a lot cooler than in the pictures but doesn't quite photo so well. You get a neat glow through the tweeter as well. My daughter nabbed the other bar for her bedroom. 1 Quote
SimonK Posted Sunday at 18:38 Author Posted Sunday at 18:38 My 16 year old suddenly decided he wanted to try the old electric drum kit - perfect for the recycled Trace cab! I would have killed to have this in my room at his age! 6 Quote
SimonK Posted Sunday at 21:26 Author Posted Sunday at 21:26 Someone posted a "cheap first gigging amp" thread but then bought something within 48 hours so I didn't get a chance to show him this bargain currently on ebay (assuming he was close enough). Killer amp for the price!! Quote
